When we do potluck-style with extended family usually every family brings one or two pies they like along with another side dish. That tends to keep all of the bases covered.

You did what needed to be done.

11/23/17 5:30pm

What was rude? That your pies tasted better? We're you not supposed to bring

Mister P

Nevermind, I just saw the linked post.

Mister P

11/23/17 5:32pm

If her pies were superior, you would be the one taking home uneaten pies.

You’re a good man. The minority needs to stop expecting to be catered to.

Sounds like you saved it for 90% of your family

It was incredibly rude of her to try and ruin Thanksgiving without gluten

TCuz

11/23/17 5:37pm

So what's the plan? Do you ignore the text, or are you supposed to apologize?

Mister P

11/23/17 5:39pm

I’m just going to ignore it. She asked to be in charge of pies. It would be one thing if she

The market wins again

B Blue

11/23/17 5:39pm

It's his fault for not heading this off the second he heard her plan

wapiti

11/23/17 5:40pm

Agreed. He's a gluten for punishment

Blue Cougar

11/24/17 1:09am

You saved everyone from years of pretending

korihor

11/23/17 5:47pm

Yep. Better for her to learn now that nobody likes her pies than years down the

I had no idea my SIL needed gluten free. She wanted to know what was in every dish & seemed genuinely

soupie

11/23/17 5:56pm

Gluten free stuffing? C'mon. What does she expect?

Mister P

11/23/17 6:00pm

Seriously!

soupie

11/23/17 6:06pm

Cornbread stuffing

kccougar

11/23/17 7:16pm

I do use cornbread but it still had flour in it.

soupie

11/23/17 7:44pm

Gluten was made by God. End of story.

so was coffee, tea and beer

Cougarealist

11/23/17 6:33pm

And meth

Cougar-Duck

11/23/17 6:35pm

You're not helping

Cougarealist

11/23/17 6:38pm

Beer and meth require human effort. Frankly, so does corn.

You’re a hero

conflictedcoug

11/23/17 6:08pm

Allowing an anti-gluten crusader make the pies is like letting a vegan

Mister P

11/23/17 6:14pm

i Always ask for extra gluten when I go to one of “those” restaurants.

I don't blame you, but you need to make amends somehow.

Mises

11/23/17 6:54pm

May I suggest offering her some pie?

SJS

11/23/17 6:55pm

Seriously. Pimpin' needs to take her a pie for a peace offering

Born2Fish

11/23/17 6:55pm

What did he do wrong?

RdF3

11/23/17 6:58pm

Nothing at all. But it doesn't mean he didn't hurt her feelings.

Mises

11/23/17 7:12pm

Absolutely not. She tried to force her special diet on extended family on thanksgiving

JohnnyComeLately

11/23/17 7:45pm

Are you married? Would you say that to your wife?

Mises

11/23/17 8:12pm

Yes I’m married and she has severe allergies to tree nuts and fuzzy friit

JohnnyComeLately

11/23/17 9:02pm

You've missed the point. I agree with you. The SIL was being ridiculous.

Mises

libertycoug

11/24/17 4:29pm

Hard to know. Did he do it in a way calculated to surprise and offend?

Paco

11/24/17 10:14am

If she wants to bring a couple of pies for the gluten free duo, fine. But

gwalker

11/23/17 6:57pm

I think people that eat only gluten free have no idea how bad their food is to

Mises

11/23/17 7:17pm

Agreed. He was selfish too. (His wife being the first)

Blue Cougar

No. You saved Thanksgiving.

You, Sir, did an extraordinary thing. #MPGA

byuTX

11/23/17 7:45pm

Well, she did say “I'm not going to make something I can't eat."

Gigo

11/23/17 7:59pm

true, instead she made something that no one else could eat. #worse

The market has spoken. Supply and demand.

BostonCougar

11/23/17 8:53pm

I'm curious which pies her husband ate, the good ones or the gluten free crap?

sevenIDcougs

I think putting one person in charge of all pies is a bad idea to begin with.

You did the right thing
